photo credit

Image source notation

A photo credit identifies who took or owns a photograph, typically appearing in small text near the image or in a publication's credits section.

Publications include photo credits to acknowledge the photographer's work and satisfy copyright requirements: Photo credit: Associated Press.

Often shortened to just credit: All photos used with credit to the original photographers.
